In a total electric home?


Any females in the house, with the usual curling irons, stinky candles,
flat irons, crockpots, ad infinitum? Any fireplaces, gas or wood? Any
soldering irons? Ever put up a Christmas tree with old-style light bulbs
on it? *'Total electric' does not eliminate the chance of CO problems,
it just reduces them. Anything hot near anything that can burn can
produce a slow smoldering fire.

I need to get one *myself, but since I live alone, none of the above
apply to me. Furnace and water heater, both gas fired, are my only two
plausible ignition points. Just never got a round tuit.

I live alone too, and if I die from CO poisoning from a candle or
Crock-Pot....then so be it. If I start living with a female again and
I die from a curling iron...then so be it.


I knew a guy who was curled to death. He made a circle 24 inches in
diameter. Had to be uncurled to fit in the coffin.
